When did you first know you were hooked on Japanese pop culture?

[Pete, Harmless Black Guy]

Since there's not a Japanese pop culture section, I guess this is the closest thing...

For me, it was when I was around 10 or 11. Ever since then, I've loved it. I don't have much anime anymore, but I have about 75 Japanese songs on my computer...

I know, I'm an amateur...

Ever since last year when I couldn't stop watching anime every single say! Pathetic.. I know. But wait, I loved Japanese culture before that since I always praised Naruto as a new episode showed very Saturday night. Then I would claim that Japanese Anime Rox! Now I'm manga crazy... a total yaoi fanatic and still hunting for more manga/anime. I wanna visit Japan now so I can visit cities I've learned about in anime/manga [Osaka, Hokkaido,Tokyo] and eat their food.
